Physical Exercise.

| There are two sides to this very inn
portant question, viz; the necessity OF
exercise, and the danger Of excessive
| exercise. will speak Of the necessity
OF exercise first. as think there is
greater danger from insufficient eNer-
| else during the winter months than
there is from excessive exercise. This
will especially apply to men and wo-
men OF sedentary'kabits. Men running
| extensive farms have the chores to do.
and thereby have sufficient exercise to
preserve good physical and mental
| health. Men Of small means us We'll as
men of leisure are apt to house UP for
the winter and neglect to take sutli
Gent exercise. to preserve perfect
health. ! know of bachelors holding
down claims that are not out of the
except when they go TO town perhaps
once a month. They arrange things so
that about an hours work preparing
something to eat each day is all they
have to do. The consequence is that
they have poor health and their lives
are shorter than if they would walk
out a couple of miles from home to see
what their neighbors are doing, on fine
days, and have some gymnastic eNer-
else for cold stormy weather.
If the newspaper editors and lawyers
would get o,it and run y hundred yard
race with the bankers and book Keep
ers none of them would fail to notice
how much they were invigorated and
how much easier their minds would
work.
LII some women would do their own
washing, instead of hiring it done, they
would enjoy much better health and
longer lives. rs rule those who have
to work for q living are healthy.
On the other hand ambition may
lead to the other extreme. Some peo-
pie will do twice what is considered a
fair day., work: such people and those
who compete for prizes in great walk
ing matches along with circus per-
formers, prize fighters and the like are
always prematurely old. 1t may be ca.
sier to give advice than to receive it
but would recommend exercise
which should always stop short Of fa
tigue. to all those who wish for good
health and long life.
